TOILET-STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 750,439, dated January 26, 1904;.

' Application filed January 2, 1903. Serial No. 137,605; (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN 0. Down, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of New York, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet-Stands, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the class of toilet appliances, and has for its object a convenient and portable stand in which are grouped and collected in a convenient manner holders for the toilet articles commonly used.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate an embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 is a general perspective view of the stand, showing the toilet articles in place thereon. Fig. 2 is a vertical section at line a in Fig. 3, and Fig. 3 is a plan with the mirrorstandard broken away.

As herein shown, the invention is embodied in a toilet-stand adapted for holding shaving appliances or conveniences-such as a mirror, a cup for lather, a shaving-brush, and a comb.

1 designates the base of the stand, of somewhat triangular form with rounded angles and a molded edge and provided with feet 2. On the base at its broader part is fixed in an erect position a stem or standard 3, provided at its upper end with a V-shaped fork 4, in which is pivotally mounted a mirror 5.

In front of the standard 3 and at the nar- I rower part of the base is fixed a circular ring 6, which forms a guard-rail for the base of a cup 7, which sits within the space embraced by said ring.

Between the ring 6 and the standard 3 and extending transversely of the base is a holder 8 for a brush 9 and comb 10. This holder has formed in it a trough-like hollow 8 for the brush and a somewhat V-shaped channel or groove 8 to receive the comb and retaining the same in place through the medium of the slight wedging action occasioned by the tapered or V-shaped formation of the holdinggroove 8 Fig. 1 shows the cup, comb, and brush in place in the holder.

The stand is adapted to be finished in any style desired, and the toilet articles may be finished in the manner or in a suitable style to harmonize with the stand.

Having thus described my invention, I claim As an improved article of manufacture, a toilet-stand comprisinga single base, amirrorsupporting standard arising from the base, a cup-holder also carried by the base, and a holder-block secured flat upon the base at a point between said standard and cup-holder and provided with a longitudinal trough for receiving the shaving-brush and in rear of the latter with a V shaped or tapered holdinggroove providing awedging holder for the comb.
